Practicing in all areas of Family Law and Divorce

In any family law case, the decisions you must make will likely affect you and your family for the rest of your lives. Furthermore, you may be making these important decisions under tremendous emotional strain. Because stress can keep you from looking at things objectively, you need an experienced family law attorney at your side.

Good legal advice can mean the difference between making rational decisions based on objective facts and Florida law or making emotional decisions based on your heightened feelings. We invite you to contact us to discuss family law matters that could affect your family and your financial situation for years to come.

He has successfully represented physicians and pharmacies against charges of license violation from the Agency of Healthcare Administration.

Some of his clients in these areas include Fidelity National Title Insurance, Surecredit Home Loans USA, Universal Development Inc., Tradezone, American Ambulance, AMC Transportation, American Medical Transportation, and South Florida Dental & Denture Center, just to name a few.

In 1987, he was one of the first attorneys in Florida to obtain a jury verdict in excess of one million dollars in a personal injury case involving the vicarious negligence of a landowner for the intentional and criminal acts of an individual not employed by the company that was held liable for the injuries to his client.

A significant portion of his practice relates to family law, including dissolution of marriage, custody, paternity and support cases, and post-dissolution controversies relating to shared parental responsibility obligations and non-compliance with marital settlement and prenuptial agreements.

Besides being regularly engaged in the litigation of numerous cases, Mr. Wanshel's present practice involves extensive transactional work in real estate, probate, corporation, business, and sophisticated commercial matters. On occasion he accepts criminal defense cases, drawing on his experience that dates back to being with the State Attorney's Office when he first started practicing law.

Mr. Wanshel has engaged in a wide range and variety of cases over the length of his practice. His extensive experience has allowed him to become well-acquainted with the law and an expert in trial and court procedure in the areas of law in which he regularly practices. His reputation among the bench and bar for his character and legal abilities is excellent, and he encourages all potential clients to make inquiries to others in the legal profession regarding his qualifications.
